Using an Electronic Pet Fence for Pet Containment

Keeping Dogs Safe and Contained with Hidden Pet Fencing

When we bought our current house, the first thing we did
upon taking possession of the property was build a wooden
fence around the back yard. Not to be anti-social, but
to let our dogs wander free while keeping them safe and
on the property. You'd think a sturdy wooden
fence would do just that, but we soon learned otherwise.

A hidden fence helps keep your pets safe and contained

This is the story of why we ended up installing
an Invisible Fence® brand pet containment system.
(Other brands include Petsafe Instant Fence and
Innotek In-Ground Fence.)
The electronic fence was installed
in addition to our wooden fence
in order to truly keep our dogs safe.

The Invisible Fence brand system and other hidden fence systems
like it aren't for everyone. Most people
install hidden fencing
to avoid having to install a regular fence.
But the combination of a visible and a hidden fence
might just be the best solution for keeping your pets
safe on your property. Read through the rest of
this Electronic Fence and Pet Containment Guide to hear our story.

A sad note: Taffy, one of the stars of this site,
succombed to lymphoma in October of 2006. She was only a month
away from her 8th birthday and her passing was quite sudden
and unexpected. We miss her dearly. Dino, who we frankly
expected to die before Taffy, missed her greatly. We have
a new Golden Retriever now, but we still miss Taffy.
